I'll be at Roebling Road this weekend instructing.

Come as a spectator (FREE), or pay $5 to come into the pits.

You can also check with Coastal Empire PCA, about "Taste of the Track" which allows you to sit with an instructors for a session, for a nominal fee, without having to spend the entire day at the track.

Contact the event registrar here for "Taste of the Track":

Hi all. Just getting my head above water...literally. Getting through the remodel after the A/C drain leak/flood in the house. FC still up at Speedfab getting tuned. But the pool is done. I should be back fully by the end of this month. We still have no kitchen, but the insurance inspector comes today to approve our 2/3 progress on the repairs.

Not to cause trouble but I would not let anyone, including Tracy, tune my car here in Jax. Tracy is not a rotary specialist and you should go to someone that is. My car back in the day was with Tracy and his business partner Todd and they really messed up the car. To be fair, it was mostly Todd, but when he got arrested, Tracy could not put the car back together and I ended up trailering it down south. Tracy is a great fabricator but he's never going to touch my car.

You should take the 2.5 hour drive down to Kilo Racing in Orlando and have Jesus Padilla tune the car. Been doing rotaries for over 30 years and he's set the N/A 3 rotor 1/4 mile record so he really knows what he is doing. His number is (407) 438-5467.

He's had the FC for a while now. I'll let him do his thing and if I'm not happy, I'll take it down to Kilo.

it does seem like he has had it for quite some time... even with the ignition issue.... I would think that since the FC has been done so many times it should be easy to set up for a knowledgeable person...

This isnt about being happy or not... Its about having a running car and saving$$$$

When you realize you should have taken it to kilo-- it will have been too late.
